FCSS after July 15 2026

Hi guys,

I have a question about FCSS after july 15 2026.

I was planning on FCSS Secure Networking.

I passed NSE 7 - Enterprise Firewall Administrator 7.6 and was planning on NSE 6 - Network Security Support Engineer 7.6.

After July 15 both of these exams being canceled.

I couldn't figure out what will happen according to their new mapping

Will it count for something ? am I gonna receive NSE 6 ? or I will need to do NSE 4 to get NSE 7?

if you pass it before 15th of July then at this date due to an active FCSS cert you will be awarded a NSE7 cert, https://www.fortinet.com/nse-training-update#:~:text=FCSS%20active%20certifications

Hi,

Thanks.

Btw I see that NSE 7 - Enterprise Firewall Administrator also will be retired

my bad, i saw it under Secure Networking Architect only . it would appear so.

so, passing them both before that date would give you NSE7, after that date you would need to go through the new path, https://www.fortinet.com/nse-training-update#:~:text=Security%20Operations-,NSE%207,-NSE%204%20certification
